Formation is a very complex process and a crucial step affecting battery performance. During formation, the pouch lithium battery needs to be fixed on a carrier and then placed in a formation machine for formation.

[0003] Existing formation carriers are non-removable, making it difficult to insert batteries and only applicable to the formation of specific battery models. When forming other battery models, the carrier needs to be replaced, which is very costly.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a carrier for battery formation equipment. Through ingenious structural design, the carrier has a detachable body and top cover structure, and the two are magnetically connected. This makes it very simple to put the battery into the carrier, and the overall structure has low cost. It can also be easily changed when it is needed to form different types of batteries. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a carrier for battery formation equipment in order to address the shortcomings of the existing technology. Through a clever structural design, the carrier has a detachable body and top cover structure, and the two are magnetically connected. This makes it very simple to put the battery into the carrier, and the overall structure has low cost. It can also be easily changed when it is needed to form different types of batteries.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model discloses a carrier for battery formation equipment, including a body 1 and a top cover 2 magnetically connected to the body 1. The body 1 is provided with a battery accommodating cavity, a test probe assembly 3 located at the edge of the battery accommodating cavity, and a PCB adapter board 4 connected to the test probe assembly 3. The PCB adapter board 4 is disposed on the side of the body 1. In this utility model, the body 1 and the top cover 2 are detachable structures and are magnetically connected, so the operation is very simple when placing the battery to be tested into the carrier. Moreover, the overall structure has low cost and can be easily changed when it is needed to form different types of batteries.

[0026] The top cover 2 is provided with a rubber plate 5. When the top cover 2 is combined with the body 1, the rubber plate 5 is pressed onto the battery under test. The rubber plate 5 can apply pressure to a large area of ​​the battery under test, thereby achieving pressure formation.

[0027] A battery positioning pusher 6 is provided next to the battery accommodating cavity, so that the battery accommodating cavity can accommodate batteries of different sizes to be tested, thus broadening the scope of application of this utility model. In other words, this utility model can achieve low-cost replacement.

[0028] Specifically, the battery positioning pusher 6 includes an L-shaped positioning plate 61 and a pusher assembly 62. The L-shaped positioning plate 61 is placed inside the cavity of the body 1, and the pusher assembly 62 is located on the open side of the L-shaped positioning plate 61. The L-shaped positioning plate 61 and the pusher assembly 62 together form a battery receiving cavity. In use, different models of L-shaped positioning plates 61 can be replaced according to the size of the battery to be tested, and the pusher assembly 62 can further press the edge of the battery to be tested, so that the battery to be tested is firmly fixed in the battery receiving cavity.

[0029] The pusher assembly 62 includes a pusher block 621 and a connecting block 622. The connecting block 622 is connected to the body 1 via an elastic mechanism 623, thus providing a buffering effect and facilitating the pusher assembly 62 to press the battery under test. When the battery under test needs to be inserted, the pusher block 621 or the connecting block 622 is pressed, compressing the elastic mechanism 623, placing the battery under test between the opening of the L-shaped positioning plate 61 and the pusher block 621. Then, the pusher block 621 or the connecting block 622 is released, and the pusher block 621, under the elastic force of the elastic mechanism 623, clamps the edge of the battery under test, thereby fixing the battery under test. In this invention, the elastic mechanism 623 is specifically a spring.

[0030] The connecting block 622 includes a first L-shaped block 6221 and a second L-shaped block 6222; one end of the first L-shaped block 6221 is connected to the push block 621, which is fixed to the upper surface of the first L-shaped block 6221, and the other end is connected to the body 1 through an elastic mechanism 623; the second L-shaped block 6222 is located above the elastic mechanism 623. In use, hooking the second L-shaped block 6222 will compress the elastic mechanism 623.

[0031] The first L-shaped block 6221 is also connected to a positioning block 6224 to achieve the positioning function.

[0032] The body 1 is provided with a positioning guide post 11, and the upper cover 2 is provided with a through hole 21 that matches the positioning guide post 11, so as to achieve accurate alignment and accurate connection between the two.

[0033] The adhesive plate 5 is embedded in the through hole 21 formed in the central area of ​​the top cover 2, and a pressure block 51 is provided on the side of the adhesive plate 5 near the body 1, which can apply pressure to the battery to be tested.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and structure of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
